Improvements in Jewelry-Display Stands, of"

which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to display-stands for windows and store-counters; and it consists of a structure having a hollow body perforated and filled with penetrable material to receive and support a series of stick-pins, hatpins, or other similar articles of jewelry and show the same in an attractive manner.

My invention is fully illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is an elevation of the displaystand forming the subject of my invention. Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the same. Figs. 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and Bare views illustrating modified forms of the pin-supporting head; and Fig. 9 is a view similar to Fig. 1 partly in section, illustrating a detail of my inven tion.

In the drawings, 1 represents the head of my improved jewelry-display stand, having an ornamental neck portion 2, which is joined to the base 3 by means of the screw member 4, as clearly illustrated in Fig. 2. l

The head 1 is perforated at'5, as clearly shown in the drawings, to permit the passage of pins this head is located a body of penetrable material G, which. will readily admit the pins passed through the apertures 5 and hold them in a firm position. The filling material may be sawdust, loosely packed, wax, a mass of sweet-grass, or any other suitable material.

The form of structure shown in Figs. 1 and 2 has a. rounded head substantially spherical in shape. In Figs. 3 and i I have illustrated aform of head 1, having a rounded lower portion and a conical upper portion, with the frnstum of the cone removed. In Figs. 5 and 6 I have shown a head 1 having a rounded lower portion and hexagonal upper portion. In Fig. 71 have shown a diamond-shaped head 1, and in Fig, 8 I have shown a head 1, having a rounded lower portion and a conical upper portion. From these illustrations it will be readily understood that. the display-stand forming the subject of my invention may be or other forms of jewelry. Within (No model.)

provided with a head of any desired contour, said head having perforations for the passage of the pins and the penetrable filling material to receive and. hold said pins in place.

In Fig. 91 have shown a form of stand in which the. head carrying the collar or neck 2 is secured to the base adapted to the lower end of the screw-bolt 4*, the portion of said screw-bolt adjacent to the base being plain and permitting the rotation of the top or head portion with relation to said base. I may provide means for rotating this head or top part and connect such means with the stand by passing a belt around the neck portion 2. The top'portionor head is soldered or otherwise secured to the neck at 8, and the base-may or may not be provided with the covering member 9. This member is brought. over the top and bottom of the base, as shown.

Although I have shown and described my stand as intended for use in show-windows and on'store-co'unters, it will be understood that if made in smaller size and of precious metals it may form an article suitable for a ladys boudoir. If made or used for such purpose,it is preferably filled with sweet-grass, as suggested in the specification.

Having .thus described my invention, I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. A jewelry-display stand comprising a hollow top or head section containing penetrable filling material, a neck towhich said head is secured, said neck having an opening leading to the head through which the filling material may be introduced, a base-section supporting the head-section and neck and secured to the latter, and a member closing the opening in the neck and serving to hold the parts of the structure together, said head being perforated for the passage of pins which are held in position by .the filling material.

2. A jewelry-display stand having a hollow perforated top or head sect-ion, a base-section to which the top section is secured, and a bolt and nut'for securing said sections together, said bolt having threads at each end, one set being threaded into the head-section, while the other set receives the securing-nut, and a smooth portion between said threaded portions adapted to the base-section, such con-" 3 by means of a not 7,

strncti'on permitting the rotation of the perforaiied top with respect to the base, substantially as described. I

3; A jewelry-display stand comprising the 5 hollow perforated top having a filling of penetrable material, a neck or collar to which said top is secured, a base-section, a connection for'said top and ed into both members, said bolt closing the a :0 opening whereby the hollow head is filled with base comprising a bolt threadpenetrable material, and a cap or cover fit ting the base, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to thisspecification in the presence of two snbscribing witnesses. 1 I
